In emergency care, time is everything and now, so is your pathway to qualification.
We’re excited to announce the launch of our FREC3 RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) course—a streamlined route designed for experienced responders who are ready to take the next step without starting from scratch.
A Smarter Route for Skilled Responders
If you’ve already built a foundation in first response, whether through roles in security, event medical teams, or high-risk industries, this course recognises that experience and accelerates your journey.
Rather than repeating what you already know, the FREC3 RPL pathway focuses on bridging the gap between your existing skills and the nationally recognised FREC3 qualification.
Think of it less like starting over and more like upgrading your toolkit.
What Is FREC3—and Why Does It Matter?
The First Response Emergency Care Level 3 (FREC3) qualification is one of the UK’s leading pre-hospital care certifications. It equips learners with the knowledge and practical skills needed to respond effectively in emergencies before ambulance services arrive.
From managing airways and delivering CPR to handling trauma and medical emergencies, FREC3 is widely recognised across industries where safety is non negotiable.
It’s also more than a certificate, it’s a gateway into the world of emergency and pre-hospital care, with progression routes to higher-level qualifications like FREC4 and beyond.
What Makes the RPL Route Different?
The RPL course is designed with one thing in mind: efficiency without compromise.
Our 2 day FREC3 RPL pathway is designed for learners with existing qualifications such as FPOS, CFR, IEC or RTACC.
That means:
- No unnecessary repetition
- Focused, high impact learning
- Practical, scenario based assessments
- A faster route to certification
It’s a course that respects your experience and challenges you to elevate it.
Who Is The FREC 3 RPL Course For?
The FREC3 RPL course is ideal for:
- First responders with existing qualifications
- Security professionals needing advanced medical training
- Event medics looking to formalise their skills
- Workers in high-risk or remote environments
- Anyone ready to progress within pre-hospital care
If you’ve already got the foundations, this is your launchpad.
This isn’t a classroom only experience. Like all our training, the FREC3 RPL course is grounded in real world application.
You’ll refine your ability to:
- Assess and manage patients under pressure
- Respond to trauma and catastrophic bleeding
- Deliver life-saving interventions like CPR and oxygen therapy
- Handle medical emergencies with confidence and clarity
All delivered through immersive, hands-on scenarios that mirror the unpredictability of real incidents.
Our instructors bring frontline experience from emergency services and rescue backgrounds, ensuring every session is practical, relevant and engaging.
We don’t just teach skills, we prepare you to use them.
